    This is extremely silly Stevia is: a) a chemical b) artificial (steviol glycosides are extracted from the raw leaf using crystallization and alcoholic solvents)pic.twitter.com/tfEhYY4rVX

        By the criteria used for defining Stevia as "natural", sucralose, which is technically derived mostly from sugar cane, is also "natural"

        Also, there are similar impacts on things like microbiome and hormones from stevia as other sweeteners, so it's a moot point anyway

        This is why the technical term has shifted from "artificial" sweeteners to "intense" sweeteners, because artificial is no longer very descriptive or usefulpic.twitter.com/oREFwnbF5P

        What do you mean by chemical? Like, isn't water the chemical H2O?

        One can only wonder why food brands declare thugs that are not in the product and not declare everything what it is that you are putting it not your mouth. It’s a form of delusion and hiding truth, in common sense wording.

        I don’t mean to be rude, but I believe you forgot to mention an important piece of information... it tastes awful.

        I ❤ stevia and I don't care if it's just like sugar or isn't natural. Using the liquid stevia in my tea has gotten me off the pepsi and have lost 62 lbs so far. I'm sure the stevia is better for me than being almost 100 lbs overweight was.

        Great to be off the Pepsi. The next step is to get used to water rather than intensely sweet drinks.
